Popular Nigerian actress and media personality Nancy Isime has announced she is stepping away from her social media platforms. The announcement came alongside her cheerful New Year greetings to fans as she celebrated the arrival of 2026 from Mauritius.
A Temporary Farewell to Fans
In a post shared on her social media account on January 1, 2026, Isime informed her followers of her decision to take a hiatus. She stated she would be logging off "till further notice," a move she described as habitual for her. The screen diva expressed that this time away is intended for her to concentrate on her personal well-being.
Her message read in part: "Happy New Yearrrrrrr... It’s 2026 already here in Mauritius, so permit me to be the first to wish you a Happy New Year, my Loves!! 2026 will be the year of our dreams!!" She followed this with the break announcement: "Aii, time to log off social media till further notice as usual. Let me focus on my happiness and peace, T for tenks. See ya when I see ya! I love youuu."
Reflecting on a Journey of Resilience
This break comes after the actress recently opened up about her challenging childhood on her talk show, The Nancy Isime Show. She revealed she lost her mother at the tender age of five, which marked a significant turning point in her life. Isime shared that despite being "born with a golden spoon," her family faced hardships after her mother's passing.
She recounted difficult periods where her father struggled, leading them to move frequently and live with relatives. At one point, they resided in her father's uncompleted building in Benin, where she dealt with unwelcome guests like snakes and birds. The actress admitted to feeling shy about her living conditions during that time.
Nancy Isime's story is one of triumph, as she later prioritized completing her father's house before building her own, a achievement she has humbly kept relatively private.
Fans React with Love and Support
The announcement of her social media break was met with an outpouring of love and well-wishes from her fans and followers online. Many used the comment section of her post to celebrate her and pray for her best year yet.
Reactions from fans included:
- @mayschills: "Happy New Year LOML. Have a very blessed and magical 2026."

- @izeemoh: "Happy New Year, dear Nancy. e be like say na only you dey shout oh!! You no miss Nigeria?"
- @_being.nancy: "Happy new year my woman. Welcome to your best year yet NANSLAYY!!!"

Her commitment to her mental peace continues to resonate with her audience.
